Thanks for your efforts towards great Debian releases!
I've made some changes towards a new version of my wmanager package,
mainly to close #605043 that the submitter kindly placed at "normal"
severity, although I think that for everyone using wmanagerrc-update
in non-English locales with translated update-alternatives messages
it pretty much makes this little part of wmanager quite unusable.
(I never noticed it since update-alternatives does not have Bulgarian
message translations)
Would this be considered a good enough reason to unblock wmanager-0.2.1-9
for Squeeze? I've not uploaded it yet, and I've also taken the liberty
of making some other changes that should be no-ops from a usability and
buildability (to coin a word) standpoint; you may find them in the attached
debdiff:
- a Standards-Version 3.9.0 -> 3.9.1 bump with no changes
- a debhelper compat level 7 -> 8 bump with no changes
- add bzip2 compression to debian/source/options
- change the Vcs-* fields to point to my new Gitorious repository
- depend on the hardening-wrapper package: this might look scary, but it
is actually a no-op unless the non-standard "hardening" option is
defined in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS at build time. None of the autobuilders
does that, at least AFAIK :)
- fix the update-alternatives usage bug from #605043 - the real reason
Of course, should you say those are too much for a testing migration at
this point, it'll be fine, it can wait until after Squeeze. Should you say
I should make it so only the #605043 fix is included, I could do that :)
Should you accept these changes, I will upload the package and let you
know afterwards so it may be unblocked.
Thanks for your time and all your work on Debian!
